#578 - Chapter 576: Team Qitian is on a mission
The next day.
“I have a little donkey I never ride. One day I impulsively rode it to the market. I held a small leather whip in my hand, but I forgot the lyrics, oh dear, I slipped and fell face-first into the mud~”
Han Yinuo skipped and hopped behind Zhu Qing'an, humming childhood songs like a little girl on a spring outing. The joy and liveliness she radiated infected the entire team.
Except for Zhu Qing'an.
She, who was holding a compass to lead the way, stopped her steps:
“Can you, as a senior, be a little more steady?”
“I'm only a year older, just one year. What's the difference between me and a junior? Don't live so seriously.”
Han Yinuo craned her neck, leaned in front of Zhu Qing'an, and asked, looking at the compass in her hand:
“Can you confirm that we are inside the Geng Other-Dimensional Gate?”
“Yes, it's here.”
After a morning of wandering around, their team finally arrived at the Geng Other-Dimensional Gate.
Just now, Zhu Qing'an circled half of this ball of light, and the compass needle rotated 360 degrees with it.
This means that what they are looking for is on the other side of the gate.
“I didn't expect that this compass could be unaffected by the barrier of the Other-Dimensional Gate.” Qi Jing sighed.
So far, almost all props cannot pass through the barrier of the Other-Dimensional Gate, including the Return Talisman, the Teleportation Gate, and his Infinite Sound Transmission Headset, etc.
However, Captain Jack's compass obviously broke this restriction, pointing from Earth to the other world.
However, why is it the Geng Other-Dimensional Gate where Xiao is?
If it were somewhere else, it would be fine, but, isn't this a bit off?
The Xinglong Plan has anywhere from a week to a month left. What if the place they are going to is very far, or the delay is too long, will it...
Uh, it seems like there's not much to worry about.
Qi Jing also thought of the experiment he did with the Hearthstone these past two days.
He bound this Hearthstone, which could teleport him back to a fireplace at any time, to a room in Infinite City, and then used it to see if it would succeed.
The result was that he could indeed cross different spaces and return from Earth to Infinite City.
This also means that he can first send Tan Zuoyin and the others all to Qingyun City through the Teleportation Gate, and then use the Hearthstone to return to Infinite City, achieving a cost-free return to the city for everyone.
Of course, it was actually possible before.
However, the spirit of thrift that Qi Jing had been educated with since childhood has been influencing him.
He could completely directly use the Return Talisman, which costs 5,000 points each, as a return scroll, but it's a bit extravagant.
However, both the Return Talisman and the Reversal Ring are fast-selling goods in the points mall. Because the materials are difficult to find, they will be snapped up as soon as they are put on the shelves. Even if you have points, you can't hoard too many, so use them only when necessary.
So the Hearthstone, which only has a ten-day cooldown, is still very important.
“Let's go, into Qingyun City!”
After figuring out the return, the next thing is the going.
Qi Jing, as the captain, was the first to step into the Other-Dimensional Gate, and the rest of the team followed.
“Zha Yin, do you want to ask Brother Xiao to borrow an avatar to use?”
“Let's see if the compass is pointing to something in the city first.”
Tan Zuoyin believes that there is a high probability that the item they are looking for is a man-made object. How could a naturally occurring material just happen to carry the same power of life and death at the same time?
And the Geng Other-Dimensional Gate has the most man-made objects, of course, Qingyun City.
“If it's man-made, then we need to prepare to spend money to buy it, and we also have to see if they sell it.”
“That's the point, let's go.”
Qi Jing nodded.
Yan Cheng, who was behind him, leaned over and asked:
“Go? Where's the motorcycle?”
“Motorcycle, what motorcycle? You're still riding a motorcycle in the city, let's walk.”
Qi Jing pressed Yan Cheng's head back.
They had been riding the same flying motorcycles he had bought in the Lost City all morning, flying all the way to the Geng Other-Dimensional Gate.
But the buildings in Qingyun City are densely packed, how could he let him ride again, what if he crashes into something?
“This way.”
Zhu Qing'an led the team again in the direction of the compass.
Qi Jing, who had mastered the art of playing with his mobile phone while walking, began to find someone to chat with.
Qi Jing: [Brother Xiao, I'm here again]
Xiao Fifteen: [Why are you here again? Still not done yet? Although my comprehension is the best in the world, comprehending the art of opening the pulse gate also takes time]
Qi Jing: [It's not about this, I'm here to find a treasure]
Xiao Fifteen: [Treasure? What treasure could there be here?]
Qi Jing: [Blah blah, gibberish...]
Xiao Fifteen: [Power of life and death, oh, okay, go find it]
Qi Jing: [Won't you lend me an avatar?]
Xiao Fifteen: [Mengmeng will go, do you really think my avatar is something that can be borrowed casually? Go find your treasure quickly]
Qi Jing: [OK, see you another day]
After putting down his phone, Qi Jing walked at the very back, looking at his small team that was beginning to take shape.
Zhu Qing'an and Han Yinuo, the two senior sisters, walked at the front, one very quiet and the other overly lively.
To describe it in one sentence, one is a cold and intellectual bookworm with no expression, and the other is a hyperactive chatterbox whose mouth is never idle.
Following closely behind them were the very shy Senior Sister Yin Ci and the slightly introverted classmate Shen Jianxin.
Both of them are the kind of petite beauties who are relatively short, and they seem to easily arouse other people's desire to protect them.
However, Senior Sister Yin Ci is really shy and not good at interacting with people, while Shen Jianxin is because she is not very familiar with the people here. It should be much better after staying together for a few days.
Behind them are Yan Cheng and Song Jiang, who are hooking shoulders, and Miao Kui and the other three.
Miao Kui in the back is listening to a novel with headphones on. Listening carefully, it seems to be a Japanese light novel translated from outside. It sounds like the kind that can be adapted into anime.
Yan Cheng and Song Jiang were bickering and complaining:
“Our Qitian Motorcycle Team is so cool, Qi someone actually won't let us ride, with my skills, can I hit someone?”
“That's not for sure, you almost hit me in the sky just now.”
“Ahem, I just wanted to give you a loving hug, how can you call it hitting, if you can't talk, don't talk.”
“Hug your head!”
Behind them were Tan Zuoyin, who was teasing Jile, and Qi Jing, the handsome guy who was looking at his phone.
He patted Yan Cheng's shoulder and asked:
“Lao Yan, when will you coax the class monitor and them into my team?”
He was playing with his phone, and Zha Yin could only tease the bird but had no one to chat with. It would be better to pull Bai Xiaoxiao and them in, it would be more lively.
Yan Cheng, who was obviously frightened, trembled, then turned his head and said with a smile:
“In a few days, in a few days, let's talk about it after the club battle is over.”
Song Jiang also turned his head and mocked:
“Can you do it, didn't you say that you have the final say with your girlfriend?”
“I haven't said it yet, where did the final say come from.” Yan Cheng raised his eyebrows and retorted.
Qi Jing took out a feather duster that didn't shed feathers:
“Okay, let's continue on our way, and I'll give you a little training in Observation Haki.”
“Ah? No!!!”
......
Xiao Fifteen, sitting on the city wall, looked at the nine figures in the city and gently raised the corners of his mouth.
Student Qi, coming here at this time, what kind of things will you discover?
